I am searching for any information on the Jacob James Davis family. B-06-10-1845 in Tipton, IA. D-04-04-1922, buried in Faith, SD. His wife was Martha Ellen Brant, daughter of William & Margaret Brant.
Martha E. Brant died May 31, 1902. I believe Jacob remarried, but I can find no name on the woman. Martha is buried in Ainsworth, and Jacob is buried in Faith, SD. There is a Mrs. Jacob Davis buried next to him.
The children of Jacob and Martha were: 1)Mary Davis, married to Lewis Harry Hershiser. 2)Jacob (Jake) Davis Jr., married to Ethel Priest. 3)Maude Davis, married to Arthur V. Coble and Clyde Ashworth. 4)John Davis, never married. 5)Edmond Davis, married to Grace Cook. 6) Hayes Davis, married to Willetta Schooley and Dorothy McClintic. 7)Ninevah Davis, married to Amie Williams and Martha Jessup.
Most all of the children were born in Ainsworth, Nebraska, between 1867 and 1882. Several are buried there as well.
